Cisco ANZ Exec Named Finalist in CRN Channel Awards Australia

Rodney Hamill, Managing Director of Cisco ANZ's Partner and Routes to Market organisation, has been named a finalist in the CRN Channel Awards Australia. This year has seen significant change in Cisco's Australian partner history, with Hamill leading the successful deployment of Cisco 360 across Australia and New Zealand.

Cisco 360 is the company's new partner program, which was first announced at Cisco Partner Summit 2024 and delivered over a 15-month rollout involving hundreds of partner workshops and meetings. The program has reshaped how partners engage with Cisco, opened new revenue pathways, and positioned the ecosystem to capitalise on AI-driven demand.

Hamill believes that winning this award would validate his team's enormous amount of change-management work over a 15-month journey. It would also reinforce that Cisco's channel strategy is being noticed and valued externally, not just internally.
